Did you know? Over 200 million protein structures are now mapped and freely available, a number that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.  Before, solving the structure of a single protein could take months to years using labor-intensive methods like crystallography or cryo-EM. Some even dedicate their whole careers to figuring out how one protein folds. But today, AI systems like AlphaFold can predict those same structures in minutes to hours with near-experimental accuracy.  From 1 to 200 million. Years to hours. Hours to minutes. Imagine that jump. Here are more crazy AI breakthroughs and what it…

But a recent analysis shows that store openings have a lot to do with how grocery chains expect neighborhood demographics — and home prices — to develop. The report comes from Aziz Sunderji, who worked in investment banking for many years before launching a newsletter called Home Economics. For the analysis, he matched more than 32,000 store openings over nearly…

The retail price of beef is up in all categories from its price one year ago, and experts see no sign of it coming down anytime soon. How did we get here?

But Brian Stephenson, president of the Shasta County Cattlemen’s Association, says the profit margins of major international meatpackers may have more to do with it. Find out why beef prices are so high below. Why Are Beef Prices So High?…

The United States Department of the Treasury has taken a big step forward in a plan to etch President Donald Trump’s portrait on a 24-karat gold commemorative coin. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, an advisory board whose members were handpicked by Trump, approved the general design on March 19 for a 24K gold commemorative coin emblazoned with the president’s image. Separately, the Treasury has said it plans to issue a $1 Trump coin the Fine Arts commission approved in January, despite protest from Democrats and coin enthusiasts who say the move shatters longstanding norms. The gold commemorative coin features…
